Help Week 2 Flowering with bloom enhancer

I am in week two of flowering, which is the furthest I've got yet (fingers crossed). I am using iguana bloom nutes at half strength, followed by plain water on the next two waterings. I want introduce an organic bloom enhancer now (Nirvana). The directions call for 2ML per Liter. Should I introduce it at full strength like the label suggests or is it best to introduce at half strength like with the normal nutrients? I ask because the window for adding the Nirvana is week 3-6, so I wont have many chances to use it with 2 plain watering inbetween my nutrient doses! Also is it best to add the bloom enhancer included in the same water as normal bloom nutes?

the nirvana is a add on...is not a base nutrients..just think....base nutrient are your plants food...u will always feed them....the other stuff you put in it are inhancers..they will for ex: hell root fungus or help the plant intake more food, or anything...there are many stuff you can put...but my sugestion is....use house and garden nutrients for you base nutes...for feeding the for the the other stuff you can look up...i ususally use advanced nutrients.....you can buy the buddle that comes with the right one that goes well together...or you can go to the hydro store and ask them wat they prefer...thats how i got started...lol and as for the quantity, it would be better if the first time you give it half dose, but after that its all go...and you should feed your plant always....have a ph meter, if it starts to get to acidic the you can flush....depends on your lights, stronger light plants need more food...hope this was helpfull....let me know

'Bloom enhancers' don't work in the dirt. Stick to a complete base nutrient with enough N to keep those plants green. If you choose to start using one, please post some pics of your plants now, then again in a few weeks when they're yellow.

Why wouldnt a bloom booster work in soil? Doesnt the root system take in the bloom suppliment through the soil?

Nirvana is very very mild and works great in soil. Use Nirvana at 1/2 strength too. The key is proportions. AN calls for a 2:1 Base/sup ratio. So if UR using say 8ml/gal base, use 4ml/gal of whatever sup UR using. You are right on In feeding at a half. Usually with AN: 1/2 soil/soilless. That's what I do in coco.

I water my plant with 2 Liters of water. So I should mix 4ml iguana bloom, and 2ml Nirvana in 2 Liters of water. That would give me my bloom nutes at 1/2 strength and my bloom enhancer at 1/2 strength right?

Right on !! You said you were getting tip burn at 3/4 so 33% decrease is right. Add Nirvana and you should not get burn because Nirvana is 0-0-1. So in effect you are increasing the K by 1/4 point only.
Read your plants though, your strain and environment may call for more or less.

Edit: I do think in a soil grow utilizing Iguana, Nirvana isn't needed so much. Note it has the majority of ingredients of Iguana. IMO Nirvana would be something to use for hybrid grows (synthetic nutes in soilless)

It's not that your root system wont take in the bloom supplement, it's that your plant doesn't need P & K supplementation.

Try it out but please post some before and after pictures. I promise you'll learn something.

I think his question HB maybe stems from your comment "Bloom enhancers don't work in the dirt", insinuating that they do in other mediums.

Actually I see minor nute burn or tip browning a couple days after adding my iguana bloom at 1/2 strength. So I havent increased it to 3/4 as a result.

No need for before and after pics! If youre saying something negative will happen, and pictures will illustrate your certainty, then Id rather my plant be spared. I have one female, so I dont have margin for error. If you are saying that adding 1/2 Strength Nirvana to my bloom nutes is going to negatively effect my plant, then say how and why. I'd prefer NOT to learn any bad lessons here.

The product in question is 0-0-1 so it's safe to say it's not going to do much of anything to your plants. I thought you were talking about a true 'booster', something like 0-10-10 or 0-10-6 or something else lopsided in P and K. In soil/dirt/coco/promix, I've found you need a lot more N than even straight up bloom formulas provide so I actually use 'grow' from start to finish in promix with excellent results. Your 0-0-1 is probably beneficial in hydro but I've used products like that in the dirt (liquid karma, dark energy, floralicious plus, floraBlend, etc) and I've never noticed squat. You're fine using that product, just watch your lower leaves for yellowing and make sure you're giving your girl enough N to keep her green, even if that means using 'grow' during bloom.

Interesting advice. I was using Iguana grow at 1/4, but switched to Iguana Bloom after inducing flowering. I wanted to stick with Nirvana as a bloom enhancer as it is organic as well. However I also have some Big Bud also I was considering instead of the Nirvana. What do you think the difference would be?
